Overview

In a parabolic trough collector, a long pipe containing water is located along a focal line. Build this collector carefully and you will have a steam generator or high temperature water heater. You can also use it as an experimental apparatus to explore tracking drives, glazed absorber tubes, heat pipes and much more.
